Our European Trip from Spring 2010 - Spring 2011

Our home over the next 12 months will be a twin axle caravan, very different from our 5 bedroom family home in Dorset. We hope to fulfil a long term aspiration to travel around Europe, linger in the most scenic places and move on from the not so scenic, because we can! Our first stop is Belgium where we travel by Channel Tunnel from Folkestone on 31 March, 2010. We hope to spend Spring in Italy including Venice, Scicily, Sardinia. The Summer in France, Spain and Portugal and the Winter in Scandinavia, ending the trip in the Netherlands during Spring time. Of course we will be lingering around the Black Forest, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland to name but a few of the stunning Countries. We want to share the experience with our family and friends although lots of them will be flying out to visit us whenever a place takes their interest. Hope you get the time to keep in touch jill xxxx

Ok I now have this page book marked and will check it for regular updates. This is a really good way of us being able to watch your adventure across Europe. Looking forward to Thursday [ Reply to Simon]

At last I've managed to find the website! Sounding good so far. If you're gonna have a beer at each stop over, then Alan, I'm afraid you're gonna need elastic waistband trousers to accomodate the ever increasing midrift. Just shown trhe kids the route you're taking, Cam found his way round it by naming football stadiums! Enjoy the ride x

We are hoping to be on the boat all over Christmas and the new year but it is frozen in and nobody can get water on so it cant move!!!
I wonder where Steve Wooly is - frozen in I'm sure.
It really has been cold here - lots of snow - we couldnt get out of the village for 3 days - great if you have everything - at least we have the shop.
I' sure you are warm and snug and enjoying the odd glass to keep the cockels alive !!
Take care and enjoy!! Love Clare xxx
